Embracing Independence: Blacktown SIL Home

Blacktown SIL Home

Embracing Independence at Riverlink’s Blacktown SIL Home

Many adults with disabilities dream of living independently but often face financial barriers, especially if they do not have Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) funding in their NDIS plans. At Riverlink, we understand these challenges and have crafted a solution that makes independent living accessible and affordable without SDA funding. 

Affordable Solutions for Independent Living

Riverlink’s Blacktown SIL home is set up to be financially accessible for all, regardless of SDA funding status. By leveraging the 75% Centrelink Disability Support Pension (DSP) or equivalent, residents can cover the essential running costs of the house. This ensures that each individual can live safely and comfortably, enjoying the independence they desire.

A Community of Support

Maintaining a full house is crucial for the sustainability of this model. Currently, with two of three spots filled, we are eagerly looking to welcome a third resident who wishes to join our supportive and independent community. This setup not only fosters a sense of community among the residents but also ensures that each individual receives the personalised support they need.

Designed for Comfort and Accessibility

Our Blacktown SIL home features:

  • Four bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, providing personal space and storage.
  • Modern amenities including air conditioning, a large smart TV, and shared kitchen and laundry facilities.
  • A single-storey layout with stair access and wide pathways, suitable for various mobility needs.
  • Outdoor spaces such as a covered veranda and direct access to a courtyard or garden, perfect for relaxation and social activities.
